Original Cost
Original cost of the truck was $26,251.00
Build Cost
Build cost I have no idea anymore
What was the inspiration?
Always loved seeing custom trucks cruise the local town and wanted to cruise the town with them and at the time most of the vehicles were lowered or had hydraulics when I wasnt close to being able to drive yet. I started going to some shows and started seeing trucks with air ride and knew that's what I wanted to do
How long did it take you to build?
Redone the suspension 7 years ago and since then the build really started pretty heavily
How long have you been building?
Started working on the truck when I first got it with just some aftermarket taillights, 2 inch lowering blocks and a stereo until I could get my hands on parts to put the truck on air
